I-Bidz.net - Reviews Wanted

Sneak · 04-27-2005, 12:38 PM

A new auction website, which is the cheaper alternative to buyng and selling items online, our prices are much lowered when compared to ebay, and many, many more.

Our price is fixed at $3 per auction, whatever the start price - also, we don't charge you anything but the listing fee, so whatever it finishes as, we do not charge final value fees like ebay.

Please give rates and suggestions on what can be done to improve the website as a whole, but note, the current banner is soon to be changed.

erm... its nice, but I would warn about making it too corporate. It looks like a professional portfolio site more than a bid site. I think that people would be put off slightly by that. Is a nice site though, and I am loving the simplicity of it. The logo is a bit strange. It left me waiting for about 2 minutes for it to load fully - which it did... but not in the way I was thinking. The lines at the side stop uncomfortably at the bottom, and would be better if they faded out, or went on below the line of the text. It would also be an idea to have the name of your site instead of "auction" there. It looks like you have just bought a template. Its a nice domain to brand, so use the logo to advertise the name. Also, its a slightly hard name to remember, so try and exaggerate the "i-" and the "z" - but professionally.

I hope I have explained myself well!

Well the general look of the site is good. Looks ok.

But come on... do you really think you can compete with eBay ?

Every site has to start somewhere. And that logo was temporary. Sadly, there has been a loss of files while we changed host, we will be back up shortly.

Every site does have to start everywhere - I suggest you spend time on it though. You aren't gonna get anywhere by NOT promoting it yourself.
